GOD warns Iran (Persia), with Russia (Magog), and a coalition of
allies (including Turkey, Libya, Sudan) will go to war and will invade Israel. In Ezekiel 38-39 the Bible warns this
coming war between Iran (Persia) and Israel will take place sometime
after Israel has been
re-gathered into Her land as a nation (which was fulfilled on May
14, 1948) ...
this prophetic war has never yet taken place ... the only
time in history Persia (Iran) has ever gone to war against Israel
was to help Israel throw off the yoke
of the Byzantine Empire around 614 AD.

THIS WAR will be unlike any other war in history ... this war will
unleash a series of IRREVERSIBLE events which will change the world
forever.
God has set aside two whole chapters in the Bible to warn
Mankind of this coming war ...

THE BIBLE
warns the US will
NOT defend Israel. According to the Bible, Israel must stand
alone ... with God.For when this coming war does
finally start,
the United States will be unwilling (or unable) to help Israel
defend herself. Even though the Bible warns the invading
armies will be ultimately destroyed by God, it will be a devastating war for both
Israel and the whole world. Bible scholars are divided
as to whether this coming war is part of the prophetic battle of
Armageddon or will just precede Armageddon in order to
prepare a path for the Antichrist (a coming World Leader who will
enforce a Peace Plan ("covenant") upon Israel) which will
trigger the final
prophetic 7-Year period of time which God has set aside for
Israel and the World which is sometimes called the "Apocalypse" ...

ALL MANKIND should be sitting on the edge of their seats with white
knuckles watching this terrible prophecy slowly start to unfold ...
while those who call themselves Christians (followers ... both Jew
and Gentile ... of Jesus (Yeshua), the promised Messiah) are told to
"examine" themselves in the Word and in their faith to insure they
are not just 'almost' Christians (Matthew 7:21-23) who are
"lukewarm" in their faith in Jesus (Yeshua) and God's Word
(Revelation 3:14-16) ... for Jesus warns all
to, "Watch, therefore, and
pray always (not just sometimes), that you will be counted worthy
(through His
worthiness) to escape all these things (the
terrible events of the coming 'Apocalypse') that will come to pass" ... (Luke
21:36) ... for the Bible promises believing Christians
(faithful and sincere believers in
Jesus
Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) who
are alive at that time and have endured in their faith in God's Word
are
not "appointed" to this coming time of "God's wrath" that
will be "poured out" upon the "whole world"... (1 Thessalonians 1:10 ... 1
Thessalonians 5:9-11)

Ezekiel 38:1-10 . . .

"Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

‘Son of man, set your face against Gog (a powerful leader),

of the land of Magog (translated 'Scythia' in Greek ...
the area of modern day Russia),

the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, (Meshech and
Tubal are in and around TURKEY)

and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all
splendidly clothed,

a great company with bucklers and shields,

all of them handling swords (weapons). (The Russian army will
march again)

Persia (IRAN), (Iran is listed first, meaning it will be the
'lead' ally)

Ethiopia
(Sudan ..."Cush"), and Libya (northern Africa) are with them,

all of them with shield and helmet.

Gomer
and all its troops; (Germany-France, eastern Europe, or "Galatia"-
Turkey)

the
house of Togarmah
(Armenia) from the far north
and all its troops -

many people are with you. (NATO member Turkey will join
this coalition)

Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are
gathered about you;

and be a guard for them. (Russia will act as a
"guard" ... and supplier of weapons)

After many days you will be visited.
(Meaning, this would happen far from Ezekiel's time)

In the latter years you (Russia-Iran-Turkey)

will come into the land of those brought back from the sword
(Israel!)

and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel,

which had long been desolate
(this war will take place after Israel became a nation in
1948)

they (the children of Israel) were brought
out of the nations,

and now all of them dwell safely.

You will ascend, coming like a storm,

covering the land (of Israel) like a cloud,

you and all your troops and many peoples with you."

(Ezekiel 38:1-10)

The Bible
warns Russia will also act as a GUARD (including weapons) for Iran and their
allies ...

"Prepare yourself
(Russia - "Magog")

and be ready,

you
(Russia)

and all your
companies (allies) that are gathered about you;

and be a
GUARD for them." ("Them" is Iran,
Turkey, and the other
allies listed)

(Ezekiel 38:7)

A "guard" protects, defends, blocks threats of "international sanctions"...
and provides weapons, technology, intelligence, command, and control ...
and often stays quietly hidden in the shadows until the time is
right.

Ezekiel 38:11-17 . . .

Thus says the Lord GOD:

“On that
Day it shall come to pass

that
thoughts will arise in your mind,

and
you will make an evil plan:

You
(the one who leads Russia) will say,

‘I will go
up against a land of unwalled villages; (the cities in
Israel are no longer 'walled')

I
will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely,

all
of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor
gates’

to
take plunder and to take booty,
(Greed, envy, and arrogance will fuel this invasion)

to
stretch out your hand against the waste places

that are
again inhabited, (look at Israel today)

and against a people gathered from the nations, (this
will take place after 1948!)

and
all their young lions (may be former
colonies like Canada, Australia, and the US)

will
say to you,

‘Have you
come to take plunder? (Greed, envy, and
arrogance will fuel this invasion ...)

Have
you gathered your army to take booty,

to
carry away silver and gold,

to
take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’”’

"Therefore,
son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog,

Thus says the Lord God:

On that Day when My people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know
it?

You will come from your place

OUT OF THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE NORTH,

(Russia now claims the Arctic and
North Pole as theirs ... and is deploying forces to defend it)

you and many peoples with you,

all of them riding on horses,

a great host, a mighty army.

You will come up against My people Israel, (not a good idea)

like a cloud covering the Land.

In the latter days (Far in the future from
Ezekiel's time ..."the last days"... which we are in now)

I will bring you against My Land, (God says Israel is His
Land ... He gave it to Israel)

that the nations may know Me,

when through you, O Gog,

I
vindicate My Holiness before their eyes."

(For God will destroy this invading army ...)

Thus
says the Lord GOD:

“Are you
(Gog) he
of whom I have spoken in former days (Prophecy
fulfilled!)

by
My servants the prophets of Israel,

who
prophesied for years in those days

that
I (God) would bring you against them?"

(Ezekiel 38:11-17)

Ezekiel
38:18-23 . . .

“And it will come to pass at
the same time,

when Gog comes
against the land of Israel,” says the Lord GOD,

“that MY fury will show
in My face.

For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have
spoken:

‘Surely in that day
there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel,

so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the
heavens, the beasts of the field,

all creeping
things that creep on the earth,

and all men who
are on the face of the Earth shall shake at My presence.

The mountains
shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall,

and every wall
shall fall to the ground.’

I
will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My
mountains,” says the Lord GOD.

“Every man’s sword will
be against his brother. (These armies
will turn against themselves)

And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and
bloodshed;

I will rain down
on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with
him,

flooding rain,
great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. (These armies will be destroyed by God!)

Thus I (God) will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself,

and I will be
known in the eyes of many nations.

Then they shall
know that I am the LORD.”’

(Ezekiel 38:18-23)

We are not exactly sure when this attack/invasion
will take place ... but, from current news headlines, it looks as
though it is now getting very close. As noted above, if you
study your history books you will find the only time in history Iran
(Persia) has invaded Israel was in 614 AD, and this invasion was to
help Israel break the yoke of the Byzantine Empire. The
current threats of war Iran is making against Israel represent
the first time in history the world has seen the imminent
fulfillment of this prophecy. Add the fact Russia is fully
backing Iran, and Turkey is quickly turning against
Israel, and all
of these nations either are, or soon will be, armed with nuclear weapons, you will
find the world may soon be facing this terrible prophetic war
. . .

It is
notable that Syria (or its ancient name Aram) is not listed
among the Russia-Iran allies. It may be the prophecy concerning the
destruction of Damascus will be fulfilled just prior to this
invasion.

The
invading armies will be utterly destroyed . . . by GOD!!!

In
Ezekiel 39 the Bible goes on to warn the invading armies will be utterly destroyed ...
by GOD! Also in Ezekiel 39 there are hints this coming war may go nuclear because Israel
will wait months to enter the
battlefield after the battle, they will "set apart men
regularly employed" (professionals) to bury the dead, and later
if a bone is spotted it is to be "marked" for the professionals to
bury (exactly the same procedures that are
now found in our military nuclear/biological/chemical "battlefield
cleanup" manuals today) ... the aftermath of this invasion will
be very, very gruesome.

Some
scholars feel it must be part of, or the beginning of "The Battle of Armageddon"
(because of some of the terminology used), and others believe it must happen sometime before
Armageddon and will set the stage for the coming "Antichrist" (who
will rise over 10 nations which were part of the Roman Empire) to fill the world power vacuum that will be left
after this coming war ...

The
United States will be "neutralized" sometime before this attack and
will be unwilling or unable to help defend Israel, for the Bible
warns Israel must stand alone ... with God!

More
importantly, many good Bible prophecy scholars believe the strange
prophetic event called "The Rapture" must take place
sometime before God intervenes in this coming battle ...

Disaster coming for Iran ...

Another ancient Biblical name for Iran (Persia) is “Elam." In
the book of Jeremiah, we find an additional prophecy concerning a
coming judgment against Iran (Elam) ...

“Thus says the Lord of hosts: (Lord of Armies) ‘Behold, I will break the bow of Iran (Elam),
The foremost of their might.Against Elam I will bring the four winds
From the four quarters of heaven,
And scatter them toward all those winds;
There shall be no nations
where the outcasts of Iran (Elam) will not go.
For I will cause Iran (Elam) to be dismayed before
their enemies
And before those who seek their life. I will bring disaster upon them,
My fierce anger,’ says the Lord; ‘And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
I will set My throne in Iran (Elam),
And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’
says the Lord.
‘But it shall come to pass in the latter days:
I will bring back the captives of Iran (Elam),’ says
the Lord.”
(Jeremiah 49:35-39)

Please do not ignore these Bible prophecies . . .

Many people will
simply yawn and ignore these Bibleprophecies and the
headlines we are now seeing.

Yet,
God does NOT fulfill His prophecies or prophetic warnings in secret,
but so all the world can see. For many years now a number of Bible prophecy
teachers and scholars have been warning the one piece of the puzzle missing
was for Turkey (a NATO ally-nation) to turn toward Russia and Iran
and against Israel (as this
prophecy predicts, and we are now seeing.)

The world has waited over 2,500 years to see the headlines we are now
seeing ...

This prophetic war between Iran and Israel
has never yet taken place ... and it is very much a part of the
coming "Apocalypse" and Armageddon scenario. God has been warning and
preparing this generation for this coming war for well over 10
years ... and the headlines concerning this coming war can now be found almost
daily all around the world.

God is trying to get our attention and to
draw those who are His back to Him before it is too late. With
open arms and with tears of joy God promises to welcome and to shelter and comfort
ALL
who will come to Him before these events take place (or before their
earthly bodies
die) ... yet, the Bible warns God will not mourn, nor have mercy, on those who reject and ignore and
mock His Word and His warnings.

A
Prophetic War of the Ages

At The Mouth of Two Witnesses

"In the Mouths of 2 or 3 Witnesses Shall a Thing Be Established"

(2
Corinthians. 13:1)

"At the Mouth of 2 Witnesses or 3 Witnesses

Shall He That Is Worthy of Death Be Put To
Death"

(Deuteronomy 17:6)

The books of Ezekiel and
the book of Enoch BOTH warn of a prophetic Russia-Iran
war against Israel which will trigger an IRREVERSIBLE
series of events which will lead to the Battle of Armageddon
(and the end of this Age.)

Note: The book of Enoch is an
ancient book (Enoch was Noah's great-grandfather), and portions of at least 10 copies of the book
were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. Although the book of
Enoch is relatively unknown because it is in disfavor with many
churches today for its detailed description of angelic
interactions with mankind, many of the early church fathers such
as Justin Martyr, Tatian, Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons, Clement of
Alexandria, Tertullian, Origen, Methodius of Philippi, and Ambrose of Milan
also accepted the book of Enoch as Scriptural writing.
The ancient Ethiopian Church and the Coptic Church in Egypt have
always accepted it as Biblical canon. Another prophecy
from Enoch is found quoted directly in the book of Jude in the
New Testament (Jude 1:14-15).

Book of Ezekiel

Book of Enoch

Ezekiel: Persia and Magog Invasion of Israel

Ezekiel - The Book of Ezekiel 38

“The Word of the
Lord
came to me:“Son of man, set your face toward
Gog, of the land of Magog (Russia - Scythia), the chief prince
of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him3 and say, Thus says the
Lord God:
Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and
Tubal (Turkey).4 And
I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will
bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of
them clothed in full armor, a great host, all of them with
buckler and shield, wielding swords.

5 Persia
(Iran-Parthia), Cush (Sudan), and Put (Libya) are with them, all
of them with shield and helmet;6 Gomer (around Germany)
and all his hordes; Beth-togarmah (Armenia) from the uttermost
parts of the north with all his hordes—many peoples are with
you.

7 “Be
ready and keep ready, you and all your hosts that are assembled
about you (Russia-Magog), and be a guard for them
(Iran-Persia and allies).

8 After
many days you will be mustered. In the latter years
you will go against the land that is restored from war, the land
whose people were gathered from many peoples upon the mountains
of Israel, which had been a continual waste. Its people were
brought out from the peoples and now dwell securely, all of
them.9 You will advance,
coming on like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the
land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.

15 You
will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the
north(Russia is now
claiming the Arctic and North Pole as their territory),
you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a
great host, a mighty army. You will come up
against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land.

In the latter days
I will bring you against My Land, that the nations may know Me,
when through you, O Gog, I will vindicate My holiness before
their eyes.
I (God) will summon a sword against Gog on all My mountains,
declares the Lord God.

Every man's sword
will be against his brother (God will
turn this invading army against themselves).

22 With
pestilence and bloodshed I will enter into judgment with him,
and I will rain upon him and his hordes and the many peoples who
are with him torrential rains and hailstones, fire and sulfur.

23 So
I will show My greatness and My holiness and make Myself known
in the eyes of many nations.

Then they will know
that I am the
Lord.”

Enoch:
Parthia and Medes Invasion of Israel

Enoch - Book of Parables
(2nd Parable)

“And in those days, the Angels will gather together,
and will throw themselves towards the east, upon the Parthians
(an ancient empire which included Iran-Persia which was founded
by a Russian-Scythian) and Medes.

They will stir up the kings so that a disturbing spirit
will come upon them, and they will drive them from their
thrones; and they will come out like lions from their lairs, and
like hungry wolves in the middle of their flocks.

56.6 And they will go up and trample on the Land of My
Chosen Ones (Israel), and the land of My chosen ones will become
before them a tramping-ground and a beaten track.

56.7 But the City of My Righteous Ones (Jerusalem) will
be a hindrance to their horses, and they will stir up
slaughter amongst themselves (God will turn this invading army
against themselves), and their own right hand will be strong
against them.

And a man will not admit to knowing his neighbor, or
his brother, nor a son his father, or his mother, until, through
their death, there are corpses enough; and their punishment - it
will not be in vain. And in those days Sheol (Hell) will open
its mouth and they will sink into it and their destruction;
Sheol will swallow up the sinners in front of the faces of the
Chosen."

57.1 And it came to pass, AFTER this that I saw
another host of chariots with men riding on them, and
they came upon the wind from the east and from the west, to
the south. (The prophecies of Armageddon in
Revelation also describe a global East-West-South
gathering of the world's armies in Israel which many Bible
scholars believe will take place sometime after the
Iran-Russia invasion of Israel, which this passage may help
confirm).

57.2 And the sound of the noise of their chariots was
heard. And when this occurred the Holy Ones observed it from
Heaven and the Pillars of the Earth were shaken from their
foundations.

And the sound was heard from the ends of the Earth to
the ends of Heaven throughout one day.

And all will fall down and worship the Lord of Spirits

And this is the end of the second parable."

Note: This parable takes us
to the END (of this Age.)

The Identity of "Magog - Scythia" . . .

Note: “One
of the earliest references to Magog was by Hesiod, "the father of
Greek didactic poetry," who identified Magog with the Scythians
and southern Russia in the 7th century B.C."

Note: “Strabo (xi, 515) says the first Parthian
(Arsaces) was a
SCYTHIAN” (www.parthia.com)

From the Roman-Jewish
historian Josephus Flavius . . .

A major
source on ancient Jewish-Roman history is Josephus Flavius, a
Jewish-Roman historian who wrote of the Roman wars and witnessed the
Roman siege on Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Josephus identified Magog
in his ancient writings as he wrote ...
"Magog founded the Magogians, thus named after him, but who were
by the Greeks called 'Scythians.'"
(Josephus, Antiquities, 1.123)

From
the Wikipedia Encyclopedia - Scythia (Magog
in Hebrew) comprised an area in Eurasia inhabited in ancient times
by Iranian nomadic peoples, speaking Iranian languages and known as
the Scythians or Scyths. The location and extent of
Scythia varied over time, from the Altay Mountains region where
Mongolia, China, Russia, and Kazakhstan come together, across
southern Ukraine to the lower Danube river area, Bulgaria and
Georgia. The Chinese knew the Saka (Asian Scythians) as
Sai. The Scythians first
appear in Assyrian annals as Ishkuzai, reported as pouring in
from the north some time around 700 BC and settling in
Ascania and modern Azerbaijan as
far as to the southeast of Lake Urmia. Archaeological remains
of the Scythians include elaborate tombs containing gold, silk,
horses and human sacrifices. Mummification techniques
and permafrost have aided in the relative preservation of some
remains.

From 'Encyclopedia.com -
Scythia (Magog in Hebrew),
ancient region of Eurasia, extending from the Danube river on the
west to the borders of China on the east. The Scythians
flourished from the 8th to the 4th cent. BC They spoke an
Indo-Iranian language but had no system of writing. They were
nomadic conquerors and skilled horsemen. They seem to be related to
the Saka, another nomadic tribe that roamed the steppes of central
Asia at about the same time. The so-called Royal Scyths established
a kingdom in the E Crimea before the 9th cent. BC They seem to have
maintained themselves as a ruling class while others (probably
native inhabitants) worked the grain fields. The Scythians are
traditionally associated with the area between the Danube and the
Don, but modern excavations in the Altai Mts., particularly at the
site of Pazyryk, suggest that their origins were in Western Siberia
(Russia) before
they moved east into Southern Russia in the early 1st millennium BC. Scythian
power was maintained in the 8th cent. BC in obscure warfare with the
Cimmerians. In South Russia they were
displaced (2nd or 1st century BC) by the related Sarmatians.

We know
the descendants of Magog by their Greek designation as the Scythians
(depicted in their legends as descending from Scythes , the
youngest of the three sons of Heracles, from sleeping with a half
viper and half woman). The name Scythian designates a number of
nomadic tribes from the Russian steppes, one group of which invaded
the Near East in the 8th and 7th centuries B.C. After being repulsed
from Media, many of the later Scyths settled in the fertile area of
the Ukraine north of the Black Sea. Other related tribes occupied
the area to the east of the Caspian Sea.

The ancient Greek historian Herodotus (5th
century B.C) describes them living in Scythia (i.e., the
territory north of the Black Sea). He describes Scythia as a square,
20 days journey (360 miles) on a side. It encompassed the lower
reaches of the Dniester, Bug, Dnieper, and Don Rivers where they
flow into the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.

The Scythian language belonged to the Iranian
family of the Indo-European languages. The Ossetian dialect of
central Caucasus appears to be a survivor. The original area in
which Iranian was spoken extended from the mid-Volga and the Don
regions to the northern Urals and beyond. From here,
Iranian-speaking tribes colonized Media, Parthia, Persia, Central
Asia, and as far as the Chinese border.

In the 7th century B.C. the Scythians swept
across the area, displacing the Cimmerians from the steppes of the
Ukraine east of Dnieper River, who fled from them across the
Caucasus. It is provocative that even the name "Caucasus" appears
to have been derived from Gog-hasan, or "Gog's Fort."

Have a hard time believing in God?

God says all the Bible prophecies we are
now seeing being fulfilled are given both as a final warning sign
to the world and as verifiable evidence and proof that He IS
God ... and the Bible is His Word..

"For I AM God,

and there is NO OTHER.
I am GOD,

and there is NONE like Me,
Declaring the End from the Beginning,
and from ancient times
things that are not yet done . . ."
(Isaiah 46:9-10)

"Surely, the Lord God does nothing

unless He reveals His secret

to His servants the Prophets ..."

(Amos 3:7)

Please Remember
. . .

The Kingdom of Heaven is available to
every man, woman, boy, and girl in this world, no matter who
they are, where they live, or what they have done. It is freely
offered to any and all who will receive it. Simply learn of Jesus,
the promised Messiah, believe He died on the Cross for all of
your sins and rose from the grave the third day and is now
seated on His Throne in the Kingdom of Heaven at the right hand of
God waiting patiently for the Gospel (“Good News”) of Jesus Christ (Yeshua
Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) to be spread around the world to every
tongue, tribe, and nation. Learn of Him and believe in Him . . .
for He was the only one who has ever loved you enough to
substitute Himself for you on the Cross (which represents
the suffering that will be found in Hell). He shed His blood,
suffered, and died on the Cross to save youfrom your
sins and from the utter darkness, aloneness, and torment of
Hell, if you will accept it, believe it, and trust in it.
This is why Jesus is called Savior … His Name in Hebrew means
“Savior.” He now lovingly and graciously offers you life in Heaven
(and we are warned it is a "take it or leave it" proposition.) We
have to consciously receive it and accept it in faith. If you
sincerely admit you have sinned (and need a Savior to get
into Heaven) and ask Jesus (Yeshua) to come into your life while
fully trusting in Him alone to save you from your sins ... and turn
back to God while honestly trying to stop doing (and saying) those
things God says are wrong, you will go to Heaven ... and with
open arms and tears of joy He will receive all who will come
to Him in faith and in love ... It's God's Promise!!!

The only unpardonable sin is
to reject (or ignore as a common and unclean thing) God's
love and His free offer of eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven by
rejecting His Son ... Jesus Christ... who stepped forth from
Eternity ("from of old, from everlasting"... see Micah 5:2)
... not to condemn the sinner, but to save the sinner (from
the torment of Hell) and who willingly and lovingly shed His blood
and bore all of our sins and guilt on the Cross so we can be
"washed clean" and forgiven of all our sins. The Bible also
warns there will be no peace in our hearts until we
make peace with God through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Jesus greatly
loved us to save us from Hell ... all God asks is we love
Him for all He has done for us.

Grace and
Shalom

Many of the Bible
Prophecy studies found on this site are drawn
